I can't tell specifically what metrics you are comparing so I will give some general information.

Have you compared the disk usage info to what is reported by `df`? The fsstats metricset reports `free`, `used`, and `total`. The `used` is [computed](https://github.com/elastic/gosigar/blob/a3814ce5008e612a0c6d027608b54e1d0d9a5613/sigar_unix.go#L21-L26) with `total - free`, but there is also a concept of [`available`](https://linux.die.net/man/2/statfs) and possibly the other usage metric is showing `total - available`. If there's a difference we should align.

The network metrics reported by Metricbeat are the raw counters (total values) reported by the OS. In order to measure rates you need to differentiate. [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/2783#issuecomment-331169736](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/2783#issuecomment-331169736)
